We've added another time waster to The Barrow-Downs: Middle-earth Magnets .

Give it a try and tell us here what you think of it.

Thanks!

Hehe, it's funny.

Nimrodel_9 · 10-10-2004, 01:01 PM

Tee hee hee! Lots of fun!

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 10-10-2004, 01:04 PM

I may have to create a Middle-earth Magnets Hall of Fame. I already have a first nominee:

Oddwen · 10-10-2004, 02:28 PM

That's great! I'll probably waste a lot of time on that...

Laughing out loud all the way to Vegas, Baby!

Evisse the Blue · 10-10-2004, 02:36 PM

Lol, it's wonderful!
BW, you must like Oddwen's!

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 10-10-2004, 05:26 PM

Oh yeah!

Maeggaladiel · 10-11-2004, 01:50 PM

Hee hee! This is so awesome! Nice one, BW!

Oddwen · 10-11-2004, 06:01 PM

There must be a word limit or something, because there are two blocks missing in my message.

"sightful!" should be
"insightful!"

and

"Mr. Pippin quietly moved Boromir the
king's accordion" should be

"Mr. Pippin quietly moved Boromir the disco
king's accordion"

HMM.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 10-11-2004, 06:35 PM

Hmm.... be careful when dragging near the edges. Tiles can just disappear over there, and before you know it your message is a word (or two) short!

Oddwen · 10-11-2004, 06:59 PM

True, but they go transparent when not set. And "in" wasn't even near the edge.

Elennar Starfire · 10-11-2004, 08:38 PM

I just wasted half an hour on that...very amusing! I've always been able to waste hours playing with those little magnet word thingys...I once did that instead of paying attention in drama class, and I love drama class! I had to ask my teacher to move me to a desk where I couldn't see them...

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 10-13-2004, 05:43 AM

I got up this morning and saw that there were 0 new magnets. Curious, I quickly made a new one to see if there was a problem. It didn't save! That would have stunk if I had just taken 10 minutes looking for a word! (Most of us do that. You can admit it!) After some tinkering with the database, in which time I did absolutely nothing I am aware of, it started working again!

If this or similar malfunction happens to you, please post a message here or send me an e-mail!

Thanks!

I must most humbly apologize for my latest piece of Magnet depravity.

If you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I've done four already (the ones that say "tp"). That's quite enough wasted time for one evening

Not as bad as me. I 've wasted quite a bit of time on it in the last couple days...& still haven't created one.

edit: in fact I just spent another 30 mins tonight...without anything to show for it

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-13-2004, 06:34 PM

Yes... more time wasted that should have been devoted to reading 30 pages about the Democratic Debate (and then writing 3 pages on what I just read). But from it I got this brilliant piece of advice: Never whistle at pointy polar bears.

That's an awsome poetry tool! Thanks BW! You've made my day at work! (I know, i'm supposed to be working but, when i'm bored it's just so fun to write poems...)

Funny thing though, when i first played, i though you could only use the words given, you know, like a word challenge... I think that's why my first poem sounded horrible... but, it did give it an unique flare... It was about having a garden underneath the Gray Havens, Yavanna visited once in awhile, and it talked about rude guests...

It was a masterpiece... I LOVE THE MAGNET GAME!!!

Ah, I feel so complete...
